Snail Mail Congress

Snail Mail Congress is a tool that makes contacting your members of congress through postal mail even easier than sending an email. First, we help you find your elected representatives based on your address. Next, you write a short letter about an issue you care about and choose which reps to send it to. After you click send, we'll print out your letter(s), address them, apply postage and send them off! Why snail mail? Can't I just send an email? Email is the most common way people contact congress. Staffers are often overwhelmed by the sheer volume of emails and sometimes use computers to tally and respond to messages.4 Snail mailing gives your message a better chance of being noticed. Additionally, your members of congress care about "advocacy that requires effort — the more effort, the more they care.3" We'd like to think that by using Snail Mail Congress, you get all of the extra credit for sending a physical letter, without any of the extra effort.
